Jacqueline Kennedy CollectionBull's Eye Ring

Jacqueline Kennedy chose this ring for herself, although the exact year is uncertain.

Jackie hated her hands—she thought they were too big and flawed. She reasoned that if she wore a large, sparkly ring that everyone would look at the ring and not the imperfections on her hands.

It is thought that she purchased this ring in the early 1970s when she was living in Europe. The children were in school in the US, but they went back and forth often and summered for three years in Europe. Jackie spoke six languages and felt very comfortable living outside of the US, her first experience living abroad was as a junior at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1949.
